The reading titled <\/span>Tyranny is Tyranny<\/span><\/i> is about early American history before and the beginning of its independence. It illustrates the problems the colonies faced under the ruling of Britan with taxes. In the article, it stated, \u201cso, the American leadership was less in of English rule, the English more in need of the colonists\u2019 wealth\u201d (pg.60). This shows one of the major problems that made the 13 colonies freedom from Britan, causing a rise in revolts. This problem, however, does not end with freedom from Britan, because the U.S. seems to still not understand taxation and the entirety of its effects, as the poor stayed poor and the rich stayed rich due to taxation. This again lead to riots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What I found most interesting however, was the analysis of the paper does on The Declaration of Independence. It highlights the statement, \u201call men are created equal\u201d and how the word \u201cmen\u201d was not used as an umbrella term from all people, rather specifically used to not include women. It is also important to point out of course the lack of inclusion of other races, identities, and social classes even if the statement did not say, \u201cwealthy white men.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The article at the end also points of the inequalities seen when it came to be having to serve and how one could get out of it by \u201cpaying for substitutions.\u201d This leads me to ask, in our society and government today, what are some things that deliberately or non-deliberately exclude minorities and that in effect allow the privileged to be a foot ahaed of the game like in the case of paying to not go to war? <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
